For example, to create a route from your workstation with IP address 169.254.2.1 to a print server
with a default IP address of 192.0.0.192, try this command:
route add 192.0.0.192 169.254.2.1
CAUTION Using Telnet to manually set an IP address will override dynamic IP configuration
(such as BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP), resulting in a static configuration. In a static
configuration, the IP values are fixed and the operation of BOOTP, DHCP, RARP and other
dynamic configuration methods may no longer function.
Whenever you are manually changing an IP address, you should also re-configure the subnet
mask and default gateway at the same time.
A Typical Telnet Session
Initiating a typical Telnet session is illustrated below.
To set configuration parameters, you must set up a Telnet session from your system to the HP
Jetdirect print server.
1 Type the following at the system prompt:
telnet <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address listed on the Jetdirect configuration page. See
HP
Jetdirect Configuration Page.
2 A connection to the HP Jetdirect print server will be displayed. If the server responds with
“connected to IP address”, press Enter twice to make sure that the Telnet connection is
initialized.
3 If prompted for a user name and password, enter the correct values.
